A letter everyone was waiting for in #BacterialAlphabet C for Caulobacter crescentus 💚 C. crescentus is a dimorphic bacterium: the swarmer cell has a flagellum and is motile & the stalked cell adheres onto surfaces with its holdfast. It is a cell cycle model organism #sciart
Next in the #BacterialAlphabet comes B for Bacillus subtilis. B. subtilis is one of the best studied model organism for Gram-positive bacteria. This bacterium can form endospore to survive extreme environmental conditions e.g. high temperature and desiccation. #sciart #scicomm
